NEWARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI) announced the expansion of its
award-winning universal
remote control lineup with the Logitech
Harmony® Ultimate and the Logitech
Harmony® Smart Control. Both products feature Logitech’s Harmony Hub
and Harmony Smartphone App to enable closed-cabinet control and
one-touch entertainment access to game consoles from your universal
remote or smartphone. The Harmony Hub takes personalizing your
activities a step farther into home control with the ability to program
your Philips Hue lights to the desired brightness and color with a tap
of the Logitech Harmony Ultimate.

“We’ve elevated the universal remote to the next level, taking a
personalized approach to home entertainment,” said Joerg Tewes vice
president of Logitech’s digital home business group at Logitech.
“Furthermore, our Harmony product line is no longer just about
entertainment access – we’ve designed the Logitech Harmony Ultimate so
you can also control your home’s lighting. Now you can tune the TV,
start a movie and adjust your lights to set the mood, with the touch of
your finger.”

The Logitech Harmony Ultimate and Logitech Harmony Smart Control are
compatible with more than 225,000 home-entertainment devices and more
than 5,000 brands. Both include the Harmony Hub, which uses Bluetooth®
wireless technology to power on game consoles such as the Sony PS3®,
Nintendo Wii® and Wii U. The Harmony Hub also controls infrared devices
inside closed entertainment cabinets and without the need to point at
them. Each also comes with the Harmony Smartphone App, which anyone in
the house can download to turn his or her smartphone into a personal
universal remote.

Able to control up to 15 devices, the Logitech Harmony Ultimate is a
fully featured remote with a 2.4-inch color touch-screen that enables
no-look control over television programs, movies and music by using
simple swipes and taps. It also introduces the ability to program
Philips Hue lighting systems with entertainment activities allowing you
to adjust the room’s lighting as easily as changing the volume of your
television. Other exclusive features include vibration feedback so you
know it received your touch-screen commands, tilt sensors and buttons
programmable for both short and long presses, doubling the available
functions.

The Logitech Harmony Smart Control and Harmony Smartphone App turn your
